BeeHive Homes of Albuquerque NM - Assisted Living Facility sits at 6401 Corona Ave NE, Building B, in Albuquerque, and you'll find it's in a quiet spot that feels pretty homey, and the place is built for folks who value their independence but need help now and then with things like bathing, dressing, or medication. The BeeHive style is real personal with only 12 to 16 rooms in each home, which keeps things close-knit, so staff can look after everyone like family, and there's always a caregiver around, even overnight. Residents get private rooms with bathrooms and ADA showers, and some larger rooms work well for couples, so you don't have to give up privacy or comfort, and there's even a pendant emergency call system in every room if you need quick help. People sit together in a big living room filled with light, or outside in a secure courtyard with a gazebo, where everyone visits, has meals, or just enjoys the sunshine.
They've got a dedicated memory care program for those with Alzheimer's or dementia-there are extra safety features for those homes, like electronic security and secure outdoor spaces, and staff know how to help people manage memory loss. The caregivers work off individual care plans, and nurses from a home health agency visit as needed, and the team keeps an eye on medications so residents don't miss a dose or take the wrong thing by accident. They also take health and safety serious; for example, when COVID-19 hit, they put protocols in place early to protect everyone.
Residents eat home-cooked, dietitian-approved meals together in a spacious dining room, usually something fresh and made that day, and there's always plenty to do with group games, art, social outings, and things like bingo, movies, exercise, and even fishing or quilting if that's your thing. The place handles laundry and housekeeping daily, which is easier for most folks, and pays attention to keeping the rooms and common spaces cheerful and inviting. Residents can enjoy amenity services too, like beauty and barber care, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and there's a big salon and bathing area that everyone can use. The staff run regular assessments to make sure everyone's needs are met, including those who need extra short-term help after an illness or while recovering from surgery, which they call respite care.
BeeHive Homes is locally owned and you see that in how they foster a family-like feeling, always keeping the doors open for visits and encouraging friendships. There's focus on independence, interaction, and making life enjoyable, and folks get the help they need without losing the things that matter to them.
